The Next HOPE is coming to New York City!&nbsp; July 16-18 at the Hotel Pensylvania.&nbsp; I hope you will all consider going, as it's going to be the best HOPE yet!&nbsp; HOPE = Hackers On Planet Earth.&nbsp; HOPE conferences happen every two years (and if the Hotel continues its existence, HOPE will continue on our planet).&nbsp; Expect about 3,300 of some of the coolest, creative, friendly hackers to be there.&nbsp; Hackers of all sorts -- software, hardware, social, political, arts, crafts, music, film, food, . . .&nbsp; Everyone is welcome!<BR>
<A href="http://thenexthope.org/">http://thenexthope.org/</A><BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
Who from Noisebridge is going?<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
In the middle of conference will be a huge area dedicated to hackerspaces around the world:&nbsp; The Hackerspace Village.&nbsp; This will be a temporary, incredibly huge meta-hackerspace for the entire duration of the conference.&nbsp; 24/7.<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
I'm helping Nick Farr organize The Hackerspace Village at The Next HOPE.&nbsp; I'm&nbsp;wrangling in&nbsp;as many hackerspaces into the fray as possible.&nbsp; <BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
Noisebridge should have a big presence.&nbsp; What say?<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
Do you&nbsp;have anything cool to show (or can create something cool to show), please bring it to The Next HOPE, and be part of The Hackerspace Village.&nbsp; Bring your enthusiasm for what you love, and share it with the enthusiastic crowd throughout The Next HOPE.&nbsp; And learn from all the other amazing people you'll meet.<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
In the middle of The Hackerspace Village will be a huge Hardware Hacking Area that I'm setting up.&nbsp; Anyone who wants to can make use of the Hardware Hacking Area in the Hackerspace Village.&nbsp; If you have something to make, to fix, to create -- feel free to stop by, and use all our zillion soldering irons, tools, equipment and know-how.&nbsp; If you want to give a workshop, feel free!&nbsp; Please tell Nick and me, and we can add you to the schedule (or feel free to just come by and give an ad-hoc demo or workshop any time during The Next HOPE).<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
The huge Hardware Hacking Area will be open 24/7 throught The Next HOPE.&nbsp; I'll have plenty of my kits available, and will be teaching anyone who wants to how to solder, and how to make things with microcontrollers and electronics.&nbsp; Feel free to bring kits and projects&nbsp;of your own.<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
We will also have a conference badge hacking area -- yes, the badge will be way cool, and is way hackable!<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
The Hackerspace Village itself is totally hackable.&nbsp; So, please join us and hack!<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
Please contact Nick and me if you want to join in on the Hackerspace Village.&nbsp; Or if you have any questions or comments.<BR>
